Accordingly, JRCF is not subject to federal income tax, except to the extent that it has unrelated business taxable income. There were no material unrelated business activities from Inception through December 31, 2015. Topic 740, Income Taxes, of the Codification prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement requirements for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, Topic 740 provides guidance on recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax provisions. The Fund does not have any uncertain tax positions and therefore has recorded no liability or benefit for such positions as of December 31, 2015. true Creative Commons Corporation PO Box 1866 Mountain View CA 94042 043585301 501(c)(3) 8000 General Support Village Enterprise Fund Inc 751 Laurel St San Carlos CA 94070 222852248 501(c)(3) 20000 Lucile Packard FDN for Children's Health 400 Hamilton Ave Palo Alto CA 94301 770440090 501(c)(3) 10000 3 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 JASPER RIDGE CHARITABLE FUND (JRCF) RELIES ON THE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES OF THE RECIPIENT EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS TO MONITOR THE USE OF FUNDS AS INTENDED.
